Cleric | Dark Souls

Cleric is a starting Class in Dark Souls. The Cleric is meant for players who prefer a Magic-Melee type of class. It starts with a Mace, an East-West Shield and Canvas Talisman as its starting offensive and defensive equipment. The Starting Classes of Dark Souls will only give you a head start on certain stats. This is because you will be able to freely change your playstyle and build as you progress through out the game.

Dark Souls Cleric Notes & Tips

• As you'd expect, the Cleric is ideal for players that want to use Faith over other stats, or perhaps both Strength and Faith. While lacking in strong offensive miracles early on, the Cleric will have access to plenty of healing and other support tools, making it a good choice for new players.
• The Cleric is one of two classes that start with the Way of White covenant, along with the Knight. This makes them match more often with other co-op covenants and less often with hostile invasion covenants, making gameplay a little easier for new players who aren't ready for PvP yet.

Dark Souls Cleric Builds

• The Cleric is best suited for builds that focus purely on Faith or combine Strength and Faith or Dexterity and Faith.
